Another way I like to add some
fabulous way to live a life is by treating yourself a well deserved gift. I give a monthly salary treat to myself,I handover gift every end of the month… You
wanna know what I have gifted so far? :Phehe lets that be a to secret :P… and also we need to offer some of our income to KenChoSum(Buddha
Dharma and Sanga). I have full faith in Capital Him, that’s, “KCS”. Real people
hardly exist in this materialistic world. Sometimes the surroundings you live
are too suffocating to breath in and you will find nothing real. At this time
it's always important to surround yourself with positive, supportive, uplifting
people, this becomes an extremely important survival mechanism when you are
facing difficult times in your life.

Some friend lift you up, from miles and add smiles.

Today I really wanna talk about
relationships, where I had bitter-sweet moment with all kinds of relationship
that had surrounded me. Relationships
come in various forms, some are with people who live under same roof; who share
the same blood, your relatives, friends, neighbor; Some of them live in the
same community and others miles away. Some of these people have been in your
life for as long as you can remember and others may have recently come into it.
Most lift you up when you spend time together, while others drain you mentally,
physically, emotionally, energetically ahhh!. Who could be this kind of person
in my life? Yes I know you and you know yourself as well .I need not mention
here to slam down you. :) :) :) Smile smile smile for you :)

If you have any of the above
people in your life it's time to let them go. Be thankful for the time you
shared, the lessons learned, but remember YOU matter, your feelings matter,
wish them well, love, light peace and move on.

If you recognized any of the
above in your relationships it's time to let them go. If for whatever reason
you can't just reduce the time you spend with them. That’s what I actually do.
99.9% of my relationship with my community, friends far-near, relatives,
colleagues are amazing but I failed to make it flawless just because of 0.1%.
Sorry, to the people who falls on 0.1%; your attitude, justifies mine.

I remember when I began to cut people out of
my life like those listed above. It was so hard and yet the peace that followed
it was so worth it. Somebody rightly said, ‘Truth is like a I tried to do it gently but some required
blocking of emails and FB. I haven't missed a one because they truly were
toxic. It is well worth it and I highly recommend getting toxic people out of
your life, immediately!!

:p :P :P :P hehe :) ^^

P.S. - Don't think that you
need to spend a huge amunt of money to treat yourself to a well-deserved gift. Even if it's
a nap after a long tiring day, a moment in the sun, watching your favorite
show, cheering your favorite football club, or wearing makeup and taking
selfie, eating your favorite dish, listening to best soothing music, wearing best suit dresses, curling up with
a good book are also "Treat to yourself!" hehe menbay ya la(don’t you
think so).Yes alright

I feel It’s been a long while
since I last posted here; When I stopped feeling guilty, lazy, or like I was
letting people down, I realized that that’s ok. I’ve really missed writing, but
when life takes over, or when the blog is not calling me, I can’t force it. So
this post is dedicated to being true and to wonderful author of Kadrinche
Beyond Words and I would like to thank to those friends who are still reading
my blabla.

Photo credit: Author of this book.

Today I have brought you a
review of a good book, ‘KADRINCHE Beyond Words’ It’s a simple good book worth 200
pages. Authored by Jolly Kinley Wangchuk sir. He is a blogger, author, office
goer and good parent. Author in his disclaimer, told us that, names of the
people, places and organizations were used to make story more authentic.” Yes
the story is simply written with as expected realistic plots. When I read this
book I kept protagonist as author himself and I was empathizing him all along
the journey of my reading. And now when I see Kinley sir, I see the character
of Wangchuk in him. Please be that la. Thank you so so much lah Author for this
book. I wanna say, the most important thing a father can do

for his children is to love
their mother. So love your beautiful wife unconditionally. It really touched my
heart and gave me a life lesson to be a good wify haha… and the importance of
parental love to children. I had a good times dating with this wonderful book.
I have revised the book in the form of question and answer. Please go through
it ^^.

Characters
in the story:

I
came across many characters in this story but I have neglected the minor one,
sorry for that.

• Mrs. Karma, is the daughter of divorced
parents. Poor village girl. True lover of Mr.Wangchuk. Mother of four children,
sister of Thinley. and later went with another man, breaking the promises that
she had tied with her husband. She is
from Tashigang. She is very beautiful and influencive.

• Mr. Damchoe, a son of a rich man.
Running his own business. Stole the happiness of Mr. Wangchuk and I can
describe him as ‘offensive Damchoe.’Antogonist he is.

• Mr. Wangchuk: he is protagonist in this
book, inoffensive in nature, true lover, kind hearted, forgiving, gentle and
hardworking man. Dedicated husband and a parent to four children. Heart
patient. Toiled hard in his lives.

• Kelden Tshering: first son of Wangchuk
and he is successful software engineer.
Yeshi tsogyal is medical officer; Jetsen Lhamu is the youngest pilot and
youngest son Pelden Drukpa civil engineer by profession.

This book illustrates the
quality of human being. Humanity at difficult situations and remaining at base
at that kind of time will discover the
beautiful butter fly from ugly caterpillar. I also come to know that; life
has a way of kicking us when we’re down. And just when we think we can’t fall
any lower, what we have to do. This book
also told me, setbacks, failures, and tragedy are a part of life. Whether we
manage to find joy and success in the daily struggle of life is largely
dependent on our ability to continue through even the toughest adversity
without ever giving up.

The book may be predictable in
parts, but that does not bring any boredom in reading what is next. I was
hungry and craving to read what is next. As soon as I have started reading this
book I was eager to know who could be Wangchuk’s better half. Any ways, this is
a beautiful, touching, nonfictional work(though author says it’s a fiction :P),
heart-warming story that will sure to leave your eyes welled with tears at the
end. I was immediately captivated and transported into the world of many people
around; while reading.

What
you felt as you read?

This book is simple, humorous,
and emotional and heart touching story. Truly I had a mixture of feeling;
emotion stretches from confusion to laughter to happiness to frustration and
lastly I landed up crying. I Do Not Want To Cry, But The Tears Just Fall Down
My Cheeks when Wangchuk decided to sell
his kidney and heart less Karma left her precious family behind because of fake
people around. Wangchuk was permanently scarred. . Truly I feel today’s worlds
is materialistic and the real people is very rare. I was just wondering, is
there any man who is like ‘Wangchuk.’ Does this kind of man exist in this
world? I was asking this question to author casually and he bumped me with this
answer, “Ya he does exist.” And I was all like ‘Innala’(is it true)…

And Karpola is a man who kept me all the time
hahahaha…

What
you noticed while you read?

I have noticed the life of a
human being. A high school boy getting into job, then marriage. Children at home, misunderstanding those who
can shoulder the heaviness of misunderstanding and bring it into the base level
that person will turn into gold at the end but author didn’t tell us what
happened to Karma after her marriage with Damchoe. Author, brilliantly captures
the emotions of human heart which will tug the reader’s hearts but peculiarly
falls short on the passion that this kind of story desperately deserves second
edition :P. It’s a Bhutanese context which gave me the real pictures of places
and human characters. I was frightened
by the story of female goast found in Chendebji. I am goast phobia. Damn me! :P

Questions
you have after reading.

• Love is always
ready to excuse, trusting, to hope, to endure whatever comes, stay true. But
why did Karma married Damchoe?

• Wangchuk died
because of heart attack. Was it all because of Karma’s divorce? If it so then,
why did he kept photo of her carrying all the time?

• Why Dawa remained
spinster and helping out to Wangchuk in a difficult time when Wangchuk is
already rejecting her? Is that what we
should do if we don’t get the person which we have loved the most? Did all four
children looked after Dawa in her old age?

What
did you imagine of?

I imagined life as a good book.
The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.

What
you wondered?

The one characteristic of
authentic power that most people overlook is humbleness. It is important for
many reasons. A humble person walks in a friendly world. And at the end he
discovers gold in him as Sherab clearly mentioned in his review. As I read the
story I just wondered of how this sweet tale of a man but everlasting love mean
so much to someone and please read this book so that you will really understand what it really
means.

If you’re dying to start
‘Kadrinche…’, I say go for it. You
won’t regret.

What
you learned?

Look, at the end of the day,
the fact is that time is precious. Don’t spend your life doing things you don’t
want to do. We all have to face uncomfortable social situations from time to
time, so it’s best to do so with a plan. A well-crafted strategy will let you
enjoy your activity of choice with peace of mind and ensure that you aren’t
hurting anyone’s feelings. Make sure you enjoy the moment ^^ Life is just
now.

What
you thought was important?

There are so many things that
are important to me and they are success, my student, friends, family, and
contentment.

And also we should share our
dreams, aspirations, smiles and passions with each other. Though you will have
bitter-sweet endings to things sometimes but we cannot afford to think that
it’s the end, instead move on with the memories that we held within us. It’s
important for me to share today because sometimes the most uncomfortable things
are the things which will help us most. Healing from pain means looking aback
and acknowledging it as well as being positive and striving to move beyond it.
Nothing happened to me but I am just feeling low and dumbfounded these days. In
my mind I always have these, “True people are rare in this materialistic
world.” Everything around me is fake and suffocating. But I am managing to give
away my smiles, just to hide the pain ? No worries; ups and downs are a part of life. I am strong today hehe.

What
you think will happen next?

I really cannot say what will
happen next. As today I am mentally sick and I wish I can imagine and think
more. Damn disturbed mind! :P Let me guess, four siblings lives happily ever
after. They will also bring Aunty Dawa in Wangchuk’s heaven. Pelden Drukpa will encourage people to have
green activities in our country as he has already started with it. I am an
environmental science teacher, Thanks Pelden for proposing to come up with this
book. Lets practice green activities XOXO ^^.

Conclusion
+ Last words.

Wangchuk made me to fall in
love with the world, society, the characters, the story, everything, and then
Karma ripped it all away! 

This is one of my all time favorite
dating with Kadrinche. so I had to save it for last. Fantasy fans who have not read this book are
seriously missing out. Also, I wasn’t
really a fantasy fan before I read this book so if you know someone who maybe
needs the right fantasy book to get them into the genre, this might be for
them!

I hope you’ve found some great
gift ideas for yourself or for a friend alright? Please get a copy for you tupga(okay) and the only people with whom you should try
to get even are those who have helped you.Kadrinche beyond words ata Kinley.

Picnic^^

Today, family of SMSS nailed annual school picnic, which was a most awaited program.

You know the weather was very pleasant. The final night of October was cold but the day was sunny. This kept me warm and made me to look for a shade whole day. Truly, I have been looking forward to the annual school picnic. As I always say picnic is an open air entertainment hehe.

Yesterday I stayed late night. Even the sleeping tablet so called book; didn’t invite me a baggy eyes, instead my eyes were wide-open-sharp till 3:20 am. Then I rolled myself into the blankets and went to sleep. Anyways, that morning I woke up earlier than usual. The alarm did not have to ring at six o’clock for I was up at 5:00, to reach mom and just because of the kick of picnic day. We were scheduled to meet at the school gate at 7 sharp. The charm of the picnic lay elsewhere this time: memories stretched back to college days…

Winter chill, Black Mountain and crecent rays of sun made beautiful Sunday morning, and song birds welcomed the beauty of the day. At the same time it also made me thoughtful. I realized that life has many chapters, and if one closes, the other is about to begin. Umm, it was already 6 to 15minutes. Hurriedly collecting my thoughts I went inside to dress up... Yangchen, was positively waiting for me. Soon enough Maam Pema, Ganga and Dechen Dema joined in. We had endless things to talk about, though we spent about 6 hours together every day, the chitchat was constant, till we reached the picnic spot. By the time all the teachers and students had assembled at the picnic spot it was already nine and time for freshening up and a round of tea and snacks. After that we are separated to do the delegated job. I am a student entertainer along with warden sir.

Yesterday, the job delegation was out to all of us and as soon as I got my job, which was toughest of all. I know I am disaster in entertaining others. I talk less :P So, I discussed with principal, if we could take out the battery of school bus so that we can entertain more to our students. He gave me a positive response but it failed. So, finally I contacted with principal of Samcholing Primary and asked if I could borrow the solar panel. The ultimate response was ‘YES’. I wore the widest smile then.

By 11 AM lunch was already being cooked, right then, it was time for games. Right from antakshari to cock fight, cat and rat, bull fight students, Doraemon game and afternoon we had a dance show by all talented students. They danced untill their heart vibrates. Around 2pm; principal noticed wishy-washy face of all colleagues and students. Then we attacked lunch at 2:30 pm sharp. In between snacks, tea and juice were served.

Lunch was a wholesome affair of cheese-paneer- soyabean(neutralla)-eggs-chicken-beef-butter-mushroom-vegetables-curd-zazu. We ate to our heart filled with bliss, and our face turned into rigid… First we served to students and then teacher took their share. I being vegetarian, I got more than enough curry. The cheese fired is not in my list! So I ignored it. Which they considered it as one of the special dish for veggie ;)

After lunch,we visited the holy place, Yab Temai Nima’s Kudrung. We saw the finger prints and the prints of arrow inserted on the holy stones, there were prints of sun and a moon as well. .

Lost in my thoughts I was recalled back by Ganga and Yanchen, who pointed out that the sun saying, 'The sun was already old.' We all watched the dimming sun. I remembered how eagerly and with a happy heart I had watched the sunrise in the morning. The much awaited day was now going to be another page in the diary of my memory. But yes, I felt hopeful for the future. For, I knew that the sun would rise again tomorrow Xoxo. We headed back home at 5:30 pm i guess and I stopped by school to write this post hehe...
